- "rvz",
- It's tough for me to even take a shot at your problem unless we
- know what the problem is. I do apologize if you've talked to tech
- support and they failed to resolve it. We do have procedures in place
- where if the front line tech support guys cant fix a problem, they
- should escalate it. However, if you just go away disgruntled without
- letting them know their solution didn't fix your problem, that of course
- cant happen.
- Again, I cant really take a shot at your problem here as you didn't
- give me any information to work with. I would encourage you to send
- some details to us via email at "support@os.hayes.com". I dont mind
- posting answers to problems here in the newsgroups when it's pretty
- clear cut what the problem is and what the solution would be. However,
- I am not going to waste bandwidth going back and forth for several
- messages doing interactive troubleshooting. You are of course quite
- welcome to post a summary of what your problem was and how we ultimately
- resolve it here in the newsgroup after we're done.
